Description:
The First Byurakan Survey (FBS) is the largest and the first systematic
objective prism survey of the extragalactic sky. It covers 17,000 sq.deg.
in the Northern sky together with a high galactic latitudes region in the
Southern sky. The FBS has been carried out by B.E. Markarian, V.A.
Lipovetski and J.A. Stepanian in 1965-1980 with the Byurakan Observatory
102/132/213 cm (40"/52"/84") Schmidt telescope using 1.5 deg. prism. Each
FBS plate contains low-dispersion spectra of some 15,000-20,000 objects;
the whole survey consists of about 20,000,000 objects.
